About this artwork

Kerry works from created and found photographs and film stills. In this image she was particularly taken with the way that the model looks suspended in time, as if pausing. Extraordinarily the model holds a bubble that is slowly diminishing by releasing smaller bubbles through the water. It lead Kerry to think of Emily Dickinson's poem “I took my Power in my hand” - a poem about taking on both David and Goliath, but failing. It reminded Kerry… that at times in life we give something everything we’ve got but sometimes it’s just not enough. Despite this, we go on, we live another day safe in the knowledge we did our best. Regathering and restrengthening . Kerry captured both her strength and her vulnerability using bright contrasting colours of teal and a beautiful red magenta. Kerry has developed her style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art. She also gives the surface of the painting lots of texture and shine, creating a sense of movement.
